“Terral is one of the wise men of the Texas Capitol,” said Demetrius McDaniel, head of the Greenberg Traurig’s Texas Governmental Affairs practice. “His experience as a state representative and a senior staff member to a Texas governor and speaker of the house gives him an extraordinary understanding of how Texas government functions.”
